A Small School with a Big Heart! Nurturing Inclusive Learners for Tomorrow.
The Cowan Public School difference
Building Bright Futures
At our school, we believe that a strong start lays the foundation for lifelong learning and success. That’s why we provide a safe and supportive environment where every child is known, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. With a genuine small-school feel, students benefit from personalised attention and strong relationships with caring, dedicated staff.
Where Learning Has No Limits
Growth in the classroom and beyond is fostered through a rich learning environment that extends beyond the walls of the classroom. Surrounded by natural beauty and supported by purpose-built outdoor spaces, students are encouraged to explore, stay curious, and develop a love of learning. With access to modern facilities including a well-resourced library, multipurpose hall and flexible learning areas, students are supported to grow academically, socially and emotionally in a setting designed for their all-round development.
Stronger Together: Families and School in Partnership
In our small school setting, the strong sense of community is at the heart of everything we do. Our teachers and dedicated learning and wellbeing support teams work closely with families to truly understand each child’s needs. Together, we co-design personalised plans that support students to learn in the way that works best for them. This collaborative approach, made possible by our close-knit environment, ensures every student feels supported, understood and empowered to thrive, both in the classroom and beyond.

Welcome from our principal
At Cowan Public School, I believe every child has the potential to grow, achieve and thrive. We're a small school with a strong community spirit, where every student is known, valued and supported.
Our dedicated staff are passionate about creating an inclusive, engaging and supportive learning environment. We focus on student growth and wellbeing, using explicit teaching, meaningful learning experiences and student voice to guide our work. Whether students need extra support or extension through our High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) strategies, we tailor our approach to help each child succeed.
Equity and inclusion are at the heart of what we do, and we work closely with families to ensure no student is left behind. I’m proud to lead a team that genuinely cares about our students and works hard every day to help them reach their potential.
I invite you to explore our website and discover what makes Cowan Public School such a special place to learn and grow. I look forward to welcoming you to our school community.
